CANAL+ has named Anne-Laure Tingry as its new Chief Data & AI Officer. Tingry joins the company’s Executive Committee and will report directly to Maxime Saada, the Chairman of the Management Board and CEO of the global media and entertainment powerhouse.

Tingry’s extensive career spans over 25 years, encompassing both B2C and B2B environments where she has cultivated a deep expertise in digital strategy, e-commerce, marketing, and artificial intelligence. A graduate of the prestigious HEC Paris and Paris-Dauphine, she is well-equipped to lead the company's ambitious data and AI strategy, which is increasingly becoming a cornerstone of its operational focus.

Before joining CANAL+, Tingry made significant contributions to France Télécom/Orange. She held various marketing and sales roles beginning in 2002, eventually ascending to the position of Managing Director of Orange Store.

Most recently, she was appointed Executive Director of the Smart Mobility Services Business Line at Orange Business.

In addition to her corporate roles, Tingry brings governance experience as an independent member of the Supervisory Board of Elis since 2017. Her blend of technical acumen and leadership in data and AI positions her as a significant asset to CANAL+ as the company seeks to innovate in an ever-evolving media landscape.
